What a great example to so many - Mormons and non-Mormons alike. We are all
pushed to the brink being busy with life's demands but he set a standard for
himself and his workers that allows for a day of rest. Now if Costco and other
stores would close on Sunday, those workers would get a rest too.

"One stubborn Indian" huh. We avoid shopping on Sunday like a plague. Costco's
hours are sufficient for us, and in both retail stores where I was emloyed we
NEVER worked on Sunday. Its a day for your children, eachother and the rest of
the human race to slow down to soak in the out doors.

King is an example that we could all do well to emulate. In this world where
acquiring the most amount money and profits possible has been deemed the most
the uppermost focus and goal, it is wonderfully refreshing to hear that
self-respect, charity, and pursuit of spiritual values is what truly merits our
time and efforts.

Without a doubt, "the love of money is the root of
all evil" (1 Timothy 6: 10), and "though I have ... all faith, ... and have not
charity, I am nothing.

Thank you, Firoz "King" Husein, for providing
us the model we should all follow, including business executives and especially
politicians.

Why is this a good story? Why doesn't he keep his employees from working on
Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath? Or, why doesn't he give them Wednesday's off or
let his employees choose? This is why people don't like a particular view of
religion forced on them. Honor the diversity of people, don't force your
opinions on them.

As if religion is forced on his employees. He let's them
know how he runs his company. No one is forced to work for him. And I have yet
to see anyone in any part of the world (and I've been all around this world a
number of times) who ever complains about having Sunday off. It's not like he's
requiring they go to church. For those who hold Saturday as their Sabbath, he'd
no doubt let them have that day off along with Sunday. How silly can we become
while claiming we're to "honor diversity?"

I agree with Southern California, Hobbyist doesn't have to work for anybody and
can go on welfare. It's Husein's business, and how he runs it, as long as he
does it ethically and morally, is up to him. He is the boss and makes the
rules.

Like Husein, I had my own business and if somebody didn't
like my rules, they could leave. Better yet, if they didn't follow all my
rules, they were asked to leave. And we didn't work on Sunday, no smoking (even
when it was acceptable) no drinking and no profanity.

Hobbyis if you dont agree with his ethics then dont work for him. I dont work on
Saturdays or Sundays or Holidays no one that works for me complains. some
employees have paticular religous programs and I make sure that they all get
their time off for their activities. I have people of many religeons that work
for me and they all get what time they need to be active in their beliefs and I
do beleive in - we dont work on Sundays - this mentality that not working
sundays is shoving ones religeous views down someones throat is idiotic ! and by
the way Im not a member of any religeon so what would be your opinion of me not
working my company on sunday's ?

this "not on Sunday" thing isn't such a big deal. Most employees get a couple
of days off a week, unless overtime is needed to get caught up. Whether those
days include Sunday or not is irrelevant. Making Sunday off as mandatory is
just another way for religion to try to control our lives.

and
Dorothy | 8:56 a.m - those people working on Sunday have other days off. If the
store was closed on Sunday, there would be less jobs for people. You understand
that, right?

I can understand construction firms being closed on
Sunday, but all retail businesses should be open on Sundays - it is the day when
the other weekday workers can shop! you all do a disservice if you are closed
on Sunday. if you are closed on Sunday, where will those construction workers
shop?

I am amazed and grateful for those who are able to stand against corporate
disruptions of any kind but especially standing up for the Sabbath because
breaking it has become necessity for many just to survive.

Some
occupations cannot stop for the Sabbath such as caring for sick people, feeding
animals or watering plants but whenever possible, industry should stop and allow
time and space to think, breathe,feel and especially to worship. The world
would be a better place with more inspiration and a little less noise and speed.

Firoz Husein is my Bishop, and I can attest to the fact that this article only
reveals the tip of the iceberg that is his great character and integrity. He is
a wonderful example to all who come in contact with him and he is a truly humble
person.

Thanks Lee Benson for sharing another article about a remarkable human being. I
appreciate the stories that you uncover about people, who are usually behind the
scenes, making a difference. King is truly a fine example of integrity, in a
world that doesn't see a whole lot of that any more.

Take a breath CHarlie in Sylmar, no one and I mean no one is forcing their
religion on you. There are plenty of other places that are open on Sundays, go
ahead and shop there, its going to be ok....the only group of people who are
forcing any belief on someone else is the "no religion" crowd. The
beliefs of the athiests and agnostics are much more powerful than those who
believe in religious tenets and want to adhere to them. It is quite scary how
secular this nation is becoming, and once it does, the country as we know it is
finished.

I do hope that more businesses and places of employment would recognize the
sabbath, whether it be Saturday or Sunday for those who honor it. Those who
don't can maybe spend those days doing other things to strengthen their
family, rest and regroup for the new week. There just might be happier
employees as a result and maybe, just maybe, the economy could turn around.
Sometimes it's ok to slow down a little so as to be able to enjoy life a
little rather than the constant fast paced life with little time to appreciate
some of the things life has to offer.
